Doelstelling: Deze scriptie brengt een vertaling met commentaar van de inleiding, het eerste hoofdstuk en de conlusie van Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream. Middelen of methode: Ik heb gekozen voor een exotiserende vertaling, met keuze voor het behoud van cultuurspecifieke begrippen. Als die begrippen voor het doeltaalpubliek problemen kunnen opleveren werden ze uitgewerkt in de annotaties. Daarbij werd gebruik gemaakt van woordenboeken, encyclopedieën, krantenartikels en het internet. Tevens werd te rade gegaan bij informanten. Resultaten: Het resultaat is een Nederlandse vertaling met annotaties over diverse concepten uit de brontekst. Daarnaast werden sommige vertaalkeuzes vergeleken met de vertaling door Peter Diderich, verschenen in 2006. De inleiding bevat ook een vergelijking van de situatie op de Amerikaanse arbeidsmarkt met die op de Belgische.

A startling discovery-that job market success after college is largely random-forces a reappraisal of education, opportunity, and the American dream. As a gateway to economic opportunity, a college degree is viewed by many as America's great equalizer. And it's true: wealthier, more connected, and seemingly better-qualified students earn exactly the same pay as their less privileged peers. Yet, the reasons why may have little to do with bootstraps or self-improvement-it might just be dumb luck. That's what sociologist Jessi Streib proposes in The Accidental Equalizer, a conclusion she reaches after interviewing dozens of hiring agents and job-seeking graduates. Streib finds that luck shapes the hiring process from start to finish in a way that limits class privilege in the job market. Employers hide information about how to get ahead and force students to guess which jobs pay the most and how best to obtain them. Without clear routes to success, graduates from all class backgrounds face the same odds at high pay. The Accidental Equalizer is a frank appraisal of how this "luckocracy" works and its implications for the future of higher education and the middle class. Although this system is far from eliminating American inequality, Streib shows that it may just be the best opportunity structure we have-for better and for worse.

The data report presents the structural development of educational science and is commissioned every four years by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft (DGfE). The publication aims to inform the field-specialized public, education and higher education politics as well as the public about current developments in educational science as one of the largest fields at German universities. Particular attention is paid to study programs, students, degrees, human resources, research achievements and the promotion of young talents. The data report provides basic information on how educational science develops under the influence of recent changes and identifies the need for action in terms of the political field as well as higher education and education policy. Relevant information in the data report - for example on students, degrees and academic careers - is differentiated by gender. The DGfE thus fulfills its own claim to support gender equality. The data report is of particular importance for current discussions about securing training capacities for professional pedagogical professions and about academic careers. Der Datenreport ist eine regelmäßig alle vier Jahre von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Erziehungswissenschaft (DGfE) in Auftrag gegebene Darstellung struktureller Entwicklungen der Erziehungswissenschaft. Er informiert die Fachöffentlichkeit, die Bildungs- und Hochschulpolitik sowie die Öffentlichkeit über Trends und den jeweils erreichten Entwicklungsstand der Erziehungswissenschaft als eines der größten Fächer an deutschen Hochschulen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den Indikatoren zu Studiengängen, Studienabschlüssen, Personal, Forschungsleistungen und Nachwuchsförderung.

Several interdisciplinary studies highlight imperfect information as a possible explanation of skill mismatches, which in turn has implications for unemployment and informality rates. Despite information failures and their consequences, countries like Colombia (where informality and unemployment rates are high) lack a proper labour market information system to identify skill mismatches and employer skill requirements. One reason for this absence is the cost of collecting labour market data. Recently, the potential use of online job portals as a source of labour market information has gained the attention of researchers and policymakers, since these portals can provide quick and relatively low-cost data collection. As such, these portals could be of use for Colombia. However, debates continue about the efficacy of this use, particularly concerning the robustness of the collected data. This book implements a novel mixed-methods approach (such as web scraping, text mining, machine learning, etc.) to investigate to what extent a web-based model of skill mismatches can be developed for Colombia. The main contribution of this book is demonstrating that, with the proper techniques, job portals can be a robust source of labour market information. In doing so, it also contributes to current knowledge by developing a conceptual and methodological approach to identify skills, occupations, and skill mismatches using online job advertisements, which would otherwise be too complex to be collected and analysed via other means. By applying this novel methodology, this study provides new empirical data on the extent and nature of skill mismatches in Colombia for a considerable set of non-agricultural occupations in the urban and formal economy. Moreover, this information can be used as a complement to household surveys to monitor potential skill shortages. Thus, the findings are useful for policymakers, statisticians, and education and training providers, among others.

In Seriously!, Cynthia Enloe, author of the groundbreaking analysis of globalization, Bananas, Beaches, and Bases, addresses two deeply gendered and contested questions: Who is taken seriously? And who gets to bestow the label "serious" on others? With a strategy of taking both women and gender dynamics seriously, Cynthia Enloe investigates the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair and the banking crash of 2008, the subsequent recession, as well as UN peacekeeping and the ongoing Egyptian revolution. Each case study highlights the gritty experiences of women in diverse circumstances-in banks, on the job market, in war zones, and in revolutions. The results of taking women seriously are fresh insights into what fuels the cultures of hyper-risk taking, of sexual harassment, and the denial of women's post-war security.
